BASF ULTRAMID A3K R01 PA66 Resin

Physical Properties

• Density: Determined by ISO 1183 using injection-molded samples, the density is 1.14 g/cc (0.0412 lb/in³), reflecting the material’s compactness.
• Water Absorption: As per ISO 62, it absorbs 2.8% moisture at 50% RH, indicating its humidity resistance under normal conditions.
• Water Absorption at Saturation: Tested per ISO 62, the value is 8.5%, showing the maximum moisture uptake when fully submerged.
• Maximum Moisture Content: Specified as 0.20 (method unspecified), defining the material’s moisture tolerance threshold.
• Linear Mold Shrinkage (Flow): At 0.014 cm/cm (0.014 in/in) per ISO 294-4, this affects dimensional stability along the injection direction.
• Linear Mold Shrinkage (Transverse): Measures 0.017 cm/cm (0.017 in/in) per ISO 294-4, highlighting directional differences in shrinkage.
• Melt Flow : Under ISO 1133 at 275°C/5.00 kg, it flows at 120 g/10 min, indicating excellent processability for rapid manufacturing.
